MacColl Stickleback Lab

Andrew MacColl's stickleback lab based @UoNLifeSci studying ecology, evolution, genetics and behaviour in the wonderful three-spined stickleback! 🐟🐟

Thanks very much to @MeropsField for their many contributions to the UoN Biodiversity field course in the Cevennes: very warm welcome, great food and wonderful biodiversity.

Did the benthic and limnetic stickleback in BC have a single origin?

[MacColl Stickleback Lab @MacColl_Lab]

Parallelism provides evidence of natural selection, but studies with pre-selected taxon pairs are likely biased. We demonstrate parallelism in an intercontinental study of #stickleback, without bias. Congratulations Isabel Magalhaes, @jimwhiting_sci , @DanDagostino_ et al.

Nice work Stu! This is an important result for #ecoimmunology

Our new paper is now online @Ecol_Evol: Relationships between immune gene expression and circulating cytokine levels in wild house mice (with @JFennBio, @ElenaArriero, @MacColl_Lab and others not on Twitter...)

A new paper by Jim Whiting shows for the first time that summer day length results in changes to immune function in fish and a reduced ability to resist a parasitic infection, probably as a consequence of inducing breeding condition https://t.co/UhmjEpVnmE

The MacColl lab has a new manuscript out, describing genomic parallelism across multiple adaptive radiations of stickleback in Alaska, British Columbia, Scotland and Iceland:

Interdisciplinary investigation into sympartric species-pairs... What do they look like? How reproductively isolated are they? How did they form? And why here and now? #science #biology #ecology #speciation #evolution #Genomics #stickleback

[Laura Dean @Laura_L_Dean]

What feels like my life's work is finally ready... our work on #speciation in sympatric #stickleback species-pairs is out in
@MBE_press, a huge collaborative effort @AndrewFoote2 @DanDagostino_ @Suz_McG @MacColl_Lab & others not on twitter, thanks all! :) https://t.co/7ZrWh73TbP

Our 'Virgin Mary' paper is out. Read it to find out about the #stickleback immaculate conception, pregnancy and virgin birth! https://t.co/59g0X17SK3 @UoNLifeSci @UoNScience @UoNPressOffice

[Laura Dean @Laura_L_Dean]

We found a wild #stickleback (nicknamed the 'Virgin Mary'), pregnant with almost fully developed embryos, which are still alive today (see photo)!! Find out how we think it happened in our paper out today in @SciReports! (https://t.co/gj55yqxDd1) #Evolution #Biology @FishSci

@nafsakhazaei @Laura_L_Dean @UoNLifeSci @UoNresearch @UniofNottingham Hi Nafsa, unfortunately this particular project is only available to UK and other EU nationals but if you are interested in doing a PhD in our lab please get in touch at [email protected] to discuss project ideas / funding opportunities.

[MacColl Stickleback Lab @MacColl_Lab]

We've an exciting new paper out in @EvolLetters showing that Stickleback fish adapt predictably to acidic conditions #evolution #genetics #Genomics

[Evolution Letters @EvolLetters]

New on @EvolLetters EarlyView from Haenel et al: Predictable genome‐wide sorting of standing genetic variation during parallel adaptation to basic versus acidic environments in stickleback fish https://t.co/3kA6vNmrmx

We've got another fantastic PhD opportunity in the @MacColl_Lab for a strongly mathmatically minded biologist or a maths / physics / engineering graduate with a penchant for evolutionary biology! https://t.co/s2rmWv11Ce
